And, by the way, perhaps the discussion of the North Carolina law should take place in the other thread, designed for such discussions.
Just a thought.

You’re right, this thread should be to discuss Covid. Some interesting data recently.

Covid was the leading cause of death for people age 35-54 in September:

So it’s not just old people dying.

And a study estimated that 90,000 of the 103,000 deaths since June could have been prevented if people were vaccinated:

You can repeat this drivel all you want but until you provide any evidence to support it, it's nothing more than your usual brand of "don't you dare question me, I am so knowledgeable" nonsense. It wasn't a misstatement unless someone like you purposely presented it as such by not showing the entirety of what she said (and in that case it would be a misstatement on your part, not hers).

This all sounds like drivel and nonsense. What are we to do with your "facts" and "common sense"?

Not saying it isn't true, but the links are headlines, not actual data provided which would be the factual part.

So you're saying the information is not true then? Do you not trust their calculations or methods in which they determined those numbers?

Don't tell Ciaban this btw. It will destroy his narrative that it was old, soon to be dead folks were the only ones dying of COVID.

Did you read what I wrote? "Not saying it isn't true..."

I have no idea if I trust the data, the links provided none as far as I can see.

But not enough to look yourself. Here is the data/methodology:

Then why the subsequent point about it just being a headline and not factual data? I mean where do you think they are pulling these numbers from? Thin air?

Coming from the guy who forgot how driving works, this is pretty great.

No, she didn't.

Unless you take what she said out of context, anyway.
